I am upgrading the motherboard and cpu of my tower. I am keeping the same hard drive though. How do i go about doing this? Do i need a fresh install of windows? How would i do that? Can i just plug in my old hard drive and everything will be the same?
 
Hello

No you would have to install a fresh install on the HDD for the OS.. Do not forget to go to the mobo manufacturer's web site and install the chipset drivers for that new mobo..
 
How would i do this. Would i need to uninstall windows 10 from the hard drive before installing it? And how would i reinstall windows 10 without getting a watermark
